Term ‘Spiritual’ comes from ‘spirit’, ‘spiritus’ which means breathe or form of purely-made alcohol. That’s why spirituality could be represented as a something pure and it includes thought, feeling and our character. Spirituality doesn’t refer to some religion, although they are closely inter-related. Consequently, no matter what our religion is, moreover, the most important thing is who we (our spirit) are exactly.
Hierarchy of Needs, written by Abraham Maslow cited that every single person experiencing phase of needs includes:
- Physiological Needs, e.g. clothing, food, resident, and biological needs.
- Safety Needs, e.g. job (financial) security, free from pressure or other threatening situation.
- Social Needs, e.g. friendship, family, interaction and affection.
- Esteem Needs, e.g. prestige, status, honor and self-worth.
- Self-actualization Needs, e.g. self fulfillment by maximizing self potential and giving influence to surrounding.
According to Maslow statement, spiritual experience is a peak experience, the farthest reaches of human nature. Furthermore, he even state that spiritual experience has going beyond humanness, identity, self-actualization, and the like. Remember that actually we are spiritual being, like France philosopher, Teilhard de Chardin said, “we are not human beings having spiritual experience; we are spiritual beings having human experiences.”

Oh, well, I dunno what in English, but...sorry: Teori jaman kapan itu? Ada kok bantahan dari teori Maslow. Pokoknya yang mengatakan kelima kebutuhan itu gak selalu hierarki, tapi juga bisa berjalan beriringan. Banyak juga kok model manusia yang butuh aktualiasi diri tanpa harus memenuhi semua keempat yang lain sebelumnya. Sori, English-ku makin kacau, buntu.
Suka-suka kamu deh, tapi jurusanku tidak pernah mengajarkan seperti itu, tidak asal nelan, tapi dikritisi dengan kenyataan yang ada. =P
